| Damn, Shiratama is way more intimidating than I had thought. Asebi ended up on the receiving end of her threats and we got some background story of her family. Truly, family drama can escalate into dangerous territories. Felt bad that Asebi got involved just because she is part of her family. |
 |
| Oh boy boy, can't wait to see who killed Samomo and what Samio is doing there. we finally learned the story of Asebi's mother and then, I don't really know if Hamayu will respect the pact with Shiratama Hamayuu still remains a free electron who must have his own agenda Shiratama was completely educated to be a political tool which is completely normal, but hey, her attitude that she has just shown towards the 3 other candidates, it smells like tragedy to come at one point. I like characters who plot and have big ambition, but you have to do that in a subtle way. |
| Wow amazing episode, one of the best yet. Seems like things are really getting going in both the K’inu race and the Cherry Blossom palace. No shocker that the Prince’s brother is planning something, or at least, letting those that support him plan something without getting involved. Surely the Prince and Sumio have made countermeasures and it’ll be interesting to see what they are. The stuff on the girls’ side was my fave aspect of the episode though. Shiratama is such a jealous bitch and I hope she gets the karma that’s coming to her. Trying to steal the letter and pushing Asebi in the water ๐คข it’s a good thing Masuho was there to save Asebi. Deception seems to be the name of the game in the Cherry Palace though. Even the current empress got her position by sabotaging things with the emperor’s favourite lady.. all’s fair in love and war I guess. With the North and South joining forces and Shiratama threatening Asebi, Masuho and by extension everyone in the cherry palace, Samomo getting killed, etc., things are getting wild. This show is so underrated and deserves more hype. |

| @Marinate1016 It's not really jealousy. She was programmed like that in my opinion. She wants to secure her position. And then as I say, it smacks of tragedy about her. the situation could be worse if the prince had already visited. Afterwards, the prince must know what is happening in the palace. He has a pretty good judgment of people. |

| Just as I suspected Shiratama is a conniving loon like the Queen. Must be something in that North water. Asebi should tell the princess. Her brother needs to know not that I think he'd choose the North anyway. Sometimes I feel sorry for Asebi. She's too naieve and trusting. Now that we about her mom, I wonder if the older sister was actually ill. Or was she held back for some reason. Poor Samomo. I think the evil queen intercepted Asebi's letter. I wonder if there's an incense or drug that can stop them transforming since she had 1 wing. |
| Dang the mysteries on this show is killing me... Never expected for Shiratama to act that way. I was disappointed as she was actually my second choice for the prince's consort next to Asebi ๐ Wakamiya being such a gentleman and I already had an idea why he stayed away from the ladies but still hearing it directly from him was very endearing. And Yukiya still being the Tsundere he is. Pretty sure you won't stay there just for a year ๐ |
| Maan, the plot thickens! It's that good that I can't wait to watch the next episode. Moreover I need to find somewhere these OSTs. They really know how to build menacing atmosphere when necessary. |
| Did I miss something? Why did Samomo look gripped with terror, visibly sweating and trembling when she was handing over that letter to Asebi? Was she detained en route and threatened behind the scenes offscreen or something? Is that the implication? Because I don't think that anything else that was shown can explain it. |

Also, can anyone explain Asebi's lineage? I struggle to remember which house is which lmao. Is she the child of the previous eastern lady and the current emperor? Wouldn't that make the Princes her half- siblings? Or... the eastern lady and the eastern lord? But aren't THEY siblings? Or am I getting Asebi's house confused? someone pls help ๐ญ
| @snekkoboi The mother of the princess(and the prince) is from the westhern house(the prince said that in the 4th ep at Yukiya). From what I understand, it is not always the lord's child that he send. We learn it in this episode. and the empress is from the southern house I haven't read the novel or manga, so I don't have all the answers about her lineage. But, from what we have seen, Asabi's mother must be the last candidate to be the consort of the east. |

| I think it's pretty clear at this point that Asebi is not what she seems...I'm almost certain she's the one behind all the weird shit going on rn, probably revenge for her mother? She's probably the one who stole the letters, the person who leaked that there was assassins trying to kill the prince and definitely the one who pushed samomo to her death. Probably whatever she asked samomo to do last episode and the response she got in this episode was enough that samomo needed to be killed, I mean she was literally sweating balls when handing her the letter. |

yeah I did wonder that! it's also been established that a lot of nobility have barely ever transformed, so I wonder if she actually just lacked practice and couldn't pull it off in time. It's almost more tragic that way, in a sense
| @snekkoboi oh yeah! That's true. I forgot. Yes, that is more tragic. |
| Yukiya heading to the Southern Palace, only to be met by Rokon to interrogate him for spying at the Ravine, while Wakamiya's sudden invitation scared the hell out of Natsuka and his backers, though things will get awry if he doesn't change his ways. But more importantly as Kin'u, Wakamiya must weigh all of his options, espeically towards the concubines of the Cherry Blossom palace should he choose one as his partner. Back to Asebi, her being the most inferior of the Houses, and to incur Shiratama's wrath on her working together with Samomo to get the Prince to her side, Masuho may have the sme sentiment like Asebi, but Shiratama holds her Northern House in high regard due to the forces she can allow Wakamiya of use, and she's that desperate for him to choose her to uphold her reputation. As if things within the palace aren't crude enough, Asebi's mother's origins are quite the fascination, though if the Southern House doesn't withhold, they may be very well played into the politics side of the marriage. The Cherry Blossom palace's drama doesn't let up, especially now with Samomo's murder. |

| Somono died?! wtf! |
 |
| Shiratama finally showing her true colors. Where are ya'll Shiratama fans now lol? Though I think the scene with her pushing down Asebi into the pool and then Masuho no Susuki also being there, making it 3 out of 4 consort candidates at the same place but no retainers at all is a bit too much. So Hamayuu is not a direct child but from a sub branch and raised by the main family. I guess southern house was saving their own daughter for Natsuka? Also now it makes sense why the empress gave Asebi the name to make a joke of Wakamiya. It's cause her mother should have been the rightful empress and not that bitch who drunked the kin'u and got pregnant intentionally to be the empress. Though what if Asebi is actually the current Kin'u daughter too? I knew they were gonna go after Samomo, damn. |
 |
| Why would Yukiya tell Rokon all of that? Other than that it was the best episode so far. |
| Poor Samonmo. Shiratama is officially a bitch. |
| Please don't tell me it's Shiratama's work to destroy the Eastern house. Samomo was about to be returned to the princess but has not been yet. She's still in the hands of Asebi and it gives Shiratama the chance to make accusation to Asebi for not taking 'well care' of the princess' aide.. I wouldn't think she would be this wicked if it's not for her demeanor at the waterfall(?). But well, either her or the empress, but I can't see how the empress would benefit from this |
  ๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐๐ด๐๐ด - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
| Wait why was Samomo so afraid when she was delivering the letter to Asebi? ๏ปฟ ๏ปฟAlso, Shiratama was dumb for outing her plan like that? You're literally asking for trouble. ๏ปฟ ๏ปฟDamn Samomo is gone. |
